Optional USSR flag or no flag on pilot uniform in pre-1991 scenarios


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Our Mi-8 co-pilot always has only Russian (Russian Federation) big flag on his uniform, even if pre-1991 date is selected.

Please make it the Soviet Union for earlier scenarios on uniform for USSR era (or no flag like it historically was). This flag is really big and very much visible for the whole flight and it breaks the immersion in earlier Sovier-era scenarios, Cold War, Afganistan etc. when such country didn't exist.

Like, even though - not 100% sure - pre 1991 there should not have been any patches at all on the flight suits.

Yes. Correct. Only the Shevretka, if even that, had rank insignia shoulder boards, perhaps wings and soviet coat of arms or alternatively a wings emblem on left arm. Flight suits usually had nothing, but some wore the Telnyashka under it, giving a distinct look.

 

However I do agree. I must admit that the russian flag offends my sensitivities and I do not like seeing it.

Yes, it would be even better, i just proposed different flag to minimise ED work, just a different texture over the flag for earlier scenarios.

Yup, the pilot uniform is part of the livery. The livery can be modified to use a different pilot uniform texture, or the pilot uniform texture can be modified to have a different flag or no flag. However I don't know if either can be done to the built-in liveries without breaking IC.

I just switch to a different livery in the Mission Planner or in the Rearm menu. Arstotzkan, or my own London Transport bus livery!
